A Chic Taste of Italy in London Bridge

Homepage | TRAVEL | LONDON | London eat

When we were told about the unique new multi-sensory Italian deli concept Pulia and the fact that it had recently opened its doors to its first site outside Italy, we knew we'd have to take a visit to it's new London Brisge home.

Located near the food lovers’ paradise that is London’s Borough Market, it specialises in produce from Puglia in the south of Italy, a region known for the simplicity, quality, authenticity and taste of its food - and it proved that to us big time. After a lovely stroll along the south bank, its a beautiful walk along the river to it's new London location, tucked away amng the buste of London Brisge.

Pulia is halfway between a deli and a restaurant - and is the brain child of three successful entrepreneurs from Italy and the UK who between them have more than 70 years’ experience in the food, fashion and financial sectors. Their desire is to showcase the depth, breadth, authenticity and desirability of Apulian food through a portfolio of global shops - and we should count ourselves lucky the the UK is on the list!

Not only can you eat the incredible food they serve, from handbacked pastries to incredible cheese and breads, but the best bit is that you can buy the ingredients to take home and try to recreate the flavours of Pulia yourself at home!

Presenting a riot of colour, aroma and flavour against a backdrop of handcrafted tiles, local stone, glass and wood, Pulia’s shelves and counters are brimming with everything from pizza rustica, parmigiana, salads to dried pastas, olive oils, wine, cheeses and cured meats. Erm... YUM!

All the products in the shop are branded Pulia and derive from partnerships with artisan food, wine and olive oil producers in the region. Aside from the retail operation, a 30-seater dining area allows customers the opportunity to enjoy Pulia’s delicious fare on site, from breakfast through to early evening.
